Don't Wait

Until your hair becomes dry, thin, and gray before giving the attention needed to preserve its beauty and vitality. Keep on your toilet-table a bottle of Ayers Hair Vigor-the only dressing you require for the hair-and use little, daily, to preserve the natural color and prevent badness.
 Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky, writes "Several months ago my hair commenced falling out, and in a few weeks my head was almost bald. tried many remedies, but they did no good. I finally bought bottle of Ayers Hair Vigor, and, after using only part of the contents, my head was covered with a heavy growth of hair. I recom- mend your preparation as the best hair restorer in the world.''
 My hair was faded and dry" writes Mabel c. Hardy, of Delavan, Ill.,; "but after using bottle of Ayers Hair Vigor 1t became black and glossy"

Stories of Virginia Home.

 The City Hali portrait of Mr, john Randolph, said to be the finest like ness of him, is now in the Corcoran gallery at Washington.
 Long after Mrs. Tabb's death MT. Randolph still came to Clay Hill. He was there one day at dinner party given to a young army officer. At table the military guest was giving a glowing account of the Mexican churches, some of the finest of which, he said, had been turned into barracks by the United States troops. "Why, captain were you not afraid to do it!" asked one of the ladies. "Oh. no; for my part" the captain replied, q have become so used to such things l could take my dinner on an altar as comfortably as elsewhere"
 "And so would hog, sir" said Mir. Randolph.
 In the silence that followed this terrible thrust, they say that the very air of the room seemed to jingle as the nerves of the guests did. At that time, and even at a much later day, there Was in the neighbor- hood no regular. clergyman of the Episcopal church. Sometimes only once in three or four years would a parson appear, and then it was that the weddings wonld take place, ana that all the children born in the inter- val were brought to be baptized. This last, as matter of courtesy to the pastor, was of strict observation. Dr. Archers youngest son was quite old enough to have some notion of the import of the rite when his turn for it came, and objecting to the ordinance, he tried to run away. When his fa- ther caught him the little fellow yelled:
 "I d'want to be baptize."
 "Why not, my son?" inquired the old doctor.
 "Cause I can't cuss no more," sobbed the little boy, piteously.
 You shall curse just as much as you please, my son." said the old man tenderly. "Come along, let 'em bap- tize you, my child." The privilege of "cussing" secured to him by this strange dispensation, the little fellow made no further resistance, but sub- mitted to the rite.
 Dr. Archer was lifelong partisan of his illustrious brother in- law. Gov ernor Giles, one of the ablest politi- clans of the day. Some time after the governors death the doctor, in the heat of a political discussion, said to his opponent:
 "Go and ask Giles. If you doubt what l say, sir, go and ask Giles"
 "But can't" remarked the other. Giles, sir, is dead-dead and in he'll"
 ''l don't care snap if he is," cried the doctor "Go there and ask him !"

their rents, eat the good fare provided by their landlord, and then MT. Glad stone doesn't mind treating them to a bit of homely oratory generally in- structing them how to make bigger incomes by growing more fruit for jam, or tickling their hens to send more eggs to market. So the days and the years roll around and the grand old specimen of English manhood ripens into the harvest. His hairs are scant- fer and his wrinkles more than they were last year, but the glow is in that brilliant eye and the fire slacks not in his heart. Come from the Hawarden home, with it's reign of peace and it's halo of glory around the loving fire side circle, come to the place where thousands strive for the prize of seeing and hearing Gladstone, the orator, Gladstone, the magician who charms the people.
 recall the greatest assemblage he or probably any other man ever ad- dressed by the hour together and held them riveted. That was at Birming- ham ten years ago, when 33,000 men gathered in the cattle show hall and greeted Gladstone as though he were king.
 His pale face, nervously compressed lips, and intensely earnest expression would strike the audience as betoken- ing physical weakness, but the flashing, piercing eyes kindle every one with the contagious fire of enthusiasm. His .ich, sonorous voice soon reaches the outer fringe of the multitude, and in few moments the feeling is that of being completely under the spell of wizard in the arts of speech.

A Vitriol Thrower.

Paris Dispatch to the London Telegraph.
 A wedding party which was rev. cling in restaurant at St. Mande had q terrible fright. The bride and bride groom, tradespeOple of the neighbor- hood, were, after good dinner, waltz ing and polkaing with their relatives and friends. Midnight was fast ap- preaching, and the fun, as is usual at this sort of entertainment, was of a most lively,not to say boisterous, kind, when suddenly flower girl made her appearance on the scene and offered boquets for sale. The ladies and gen. tlemen of the company, taken with her winning ways, eagerly bought up her nosegays, and at last the girl walked up to the happy couple to present them, as every one imagined. with the prettiest boquet of the lot. What was the consternation of the by- islanders when the young woman, by a rapid movement, drew vial from her basket and threw its contents into the faces of the newly married pair. The roars of laughter gave place to shrill screams. The bridesmaids tainted and their attendant swains, with hor- TOT and dismay depicted on their countenances, strove to bring them round. The bride and bridegroom, surrounded by their parents and the elders of the party, fancied that their last hour had come, and believing that they were irretrievably disfigured opened and shut their eyes to find out if they had been bereft of sight. A few of the hangers-on, rushing up to the flower girl who had converted all thelr enjoyment and festivity into an- guish and mourning, held her fast pending the arrival of the police. In few moments the brides father, coming up, took the girl into a corner and learned from her lips that she had been for three years the mistress of his new son-in- law, that their inti- macy had been productive of the usual result, and, in short, that she had been basely deserted by her lover. Such was her story. In the meantime doctor who had been hastily sum- moned pronounced that the "vitrol'' was the most innocent of liquids The flower girl, surprised and much put out, declared that she had bought it at chemists hard by. A police man was immediately dispatched to the shop in question, but soon ascer- tained that the woman had merely been supplied with tinted water, as her manner was so strange that it had aroused suspicion. It is a pity that all the druggists who are asked for vitriol by infuriated females do not take similar precautions. As it is, the bride and bridegroom have escaped shocking disaster. But they car hardly be congratulated on an au- spicious commencement of their wed. ded career.

Like a Gentleman.
Exchange,


 To be famous in any way is to ex- cite unbounded awe and admiration, in the minds of people not given to discriminating between real glory and mere notoriety. When Beau Brum- mell, the celebrated dandy, was in consequence of his fallen fortunes, re- siding at Calais, he had occasion to visit Paris.
 Through the kindness of the con sul at the former place, he was en- abled to accompany a kings messen- ger to the capital, and thus travel free of expense.
 When the messenger returned, the consul was curious to know how he and his aristocratic companion had fraternized upon the road.
 "What kind of travelling compan- ion did you find Mir. Brummell?'' asked he.
 "Oh, a very pleasant one, indeed, sir; very pleasant" replied the mes- senger.
 "Ah! And what did he say?"
 Say, sir? Nothing. He slept the whole way"
 "Slept the whole wayl Do you call that being pleasant? Perhaps he snored I"
 The messenger acknowledged that Brummen did 90, but immediately, as if fearful of casting an improper re- fiection upon SO great a peronage, he added, with great gravity, sYet can asSure you sir Mr Rrumnell snnred very much like gentleman

I shall make no attempt to describe them, for this field has been so thoroughly worked that courageous indeed is he who attempts to enter into it. Col onel Donan, who in ali that glittering array found himself in most congenial atmosphere, delivered piece of ora tory in which he so nearly expressed the appreciation of all the party that the ladies rewarded him with looks of profound gratitude.

Thus are we rewarded by placing our trust in the opposition sex. l have ever been patron of gallintry. Mir. Hosea Ballou, we'll known journalist of New York and d naga- zine writer of growing reputation wrote the following poem. He now stands as the poet laureate of the oc- casion:
 THE SOU THLAND BELLIES. There are deeps of shadows dwelling
 In the Mnnetonka sea;
 Mountains, valleys, cloud banks swelling Rise and fall of woodlands telling
 Tales Tn Monnetonka sea. Ant the day-orb dawning, sinking, And the myriad gold-stars winking,
 Lurk in Minnetonka sea.
 There's another picture beaming,
 Deep in Minnetonka sea Images from southland gleaming, Birds with song and laughter teeming,
 Mirrored in the placid sea, Where the mistfetoe is blending With the stars and landscapes, lending
 Poem paintings to the sea. Warlike rumors are not flying
 Round the Minnetonka sea; Marshaled hosts, the dead and dying Troops with wild disorder hieing,
 Lend no terrors to the sea- Where the blue-lit waters gllsten And the wild fowl, nestling listen
 To the peace-odes of the sea.
